Reflections by Seanan McGuire
I read Indexing by Seanan McGuire previously and loved the story from the concept to the inspiration behind it. A secret agency that stops the narrative in fairytales. I somehow missed Reflections the second book and quickly scooped it up on Kindle Unlimited. Gads it was great fun to be back stopping villains with this motley crew of ATI agents!

This was quite embarrassing for a ten year old and I remember claiming to simply have fallen asleep while reading.
